en.Wedoany.com Reported - Consultancy AgRural reported on Monday (8th) that its estimate for Brazil's 2025/26 second corn crop has been lowered to 108.2 million tons, a reduction of 900,000 tons from the previous forecast, primarily due to drought-induced yield declines in Goiás, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo states.

The report noted that expected good yields in other central-southern producing regions, especially Mato Grosso, partially offset the production losses in the three aforementioned states. In the previous season, Brazil's second corn crop reached a record 113.2 million tons. The second corn crop typically accounts for the majority of Brazil's total corn output. Brazil is the world's second-largest corn exporter.

AgRural also released harvest progress data. As of last Thursday (4th), the harvested area of the second corn crop in Brazil's central-southern region accounted for 4.4% of the planted area, up from 2.4% a week earlier and 1.9% in the same period last year. The report stated that harvest progress was mainly driven by Mato Grosso; in Paraná, due to higher humidity, harvesting has not yet fully commenced and is significantly behind schedule. A new development this week is that harvesting has also started on some scattered plots in Mato Grosso do Sul.
